The 'No Regrets List' survey by Contiki.com, the group travel specialists for tourists age 18 - 35, reveals a dip in Iceland's famed Blue Lagoon is the top experience young Canadian travellers hope to embark on in 2017.

The land of ice and fire has become a major tourist destination in recent years, thanks, in part, to clever tourism campaigns like #AskGudmundur, where would-be visitors tweet their travel questions and local specialists with the name Gudmundur -- the name of more than 4,000 people living in Iceland -- respond with an answer.

And, while the Blue Lagoon was named Iceland's top draw, the Northern Lights and other natural features, like glaciers and lava fields, are also appealing to tourists looking to visit a world wonder that's just a little bit different.

Other trips Canadians would love to take in 2017, according to Contiki's survey, include seeing the Great Pyramids of Giza, walking the Great Wall of China, chilling out on the beach at Australia's Byron Bay and making pizza in Italy.

Millennial travellers also indicate social experiences were the top reason they travelled, with 75.5% of the 1,000 young Canadians surveyed saying it was more important than cultural, culinary, adrenaline or spiritual-based travel experiences.
